Background: This study aims to compare the anaesthetic potency of intrathecally administered levobupivacaine with racemic bupivacaine in lower limb surgeries.Methods: 60 adult cases ranging in age from 18 to 60 years with ASA Grade I and II, presenting for elective lower limb surgery were randomly allocated into two groups containing 30 cases each. Cases in Group L received 3ml of 0.5% levobupivacaine and those in Group R received 3ml of 0.5% levobupivacaine.Results: Cases in both groups showed similarity and no statistically significant differences were observed. Cardiovascular parameters were stable and similar between both groups.Conclusions: Levobupivacaine and racemic bupivacaine show equally effective potencies for spinal anaesthesia in lower limb surgeries.
